Indigenous Australian art is the art form with the world’s longest tradition. Beneath its seemingly aesthetic surface lie numerous cultural, social, and political dimensions.

In their work, these artists tell stories of the world’s oldest living culture, their connection to the land and to each other, but also of land theft, child abduction (Stolen Generations), and discrimination/marginalization that continues to this day.

INDIGENIUS presents stories about the origins of Aboriginal art, its creation and dissemination, as well as its reception and significance in the global art market. Through diverse narratives, different facets of this remarkable art are highlighted, gradually building a comprehensive picture.
